    EDIT by Nater: See a note at the bottom of this first post please*****


    __________________________________________________ _____________________________
    so i requested to the mods that my "build" page be black holed, as i admit, it wasnt a build so to speak, more of a refreshening of my golf...and there was a lot of petty bickering going on, and that was never the intent of the thread...so will just call this my update page, and as i get updates, ill post them here, along with pics...i wasnt even going to start this thread, as i am kinda sick of the bickering in the other thread, but i have recieved some pm's, asking what happened to my thread, as there are a few people here, who share passion for mk3 golf's as i do...so here she is in pics thus far...pls keep negative comments to yourself, this is for the few who pmd me

    I agree. Hopefully this thread stays on track too. Jealous of the plate tub lights...mine are in ok shape, and I had hoped to get new ones assuming they were cheap as ****. Alas, the plate tub and the lights themselves are NLA.

    Really planning on supercharging it? Doesn't seem like 'the car' to do it on, especially because when I think of boost, I think driving hard.
